I did a search, but I could not find a WLTP result of 374m for the ME.
I found 540 km on the Ford of Europe site, so the WLTP numbers are different depending on who is testing. I still say 374 is HIGHLY optimistic!
It is absolutely unrealistic in the real world. The search I meant was here on the forum; when the Mach-E started deliveries in the EU/UK there were lots of complaints that the cars couldn't go nearly as far as advertised. Lots of people wanted to sue Ford or have them prosecuted because they didn't know that the government mandated WLTP testing is stupidly optimistic.

As for the Mach-E , you can go to https://www.ford.co.uk/shop/buy-onl...R202300&series=ACMRJ_VS-LE&trim=11LP8included

and see the WLTP range is 372 (RWD) and 341 (AWD):

Just for comparison, from the Tesla UK website:

That is just stupid wrong! LOL
I get that it is very difficult to accurately predict the range on an EV, but to overestimate it that badly just to make some people feel better is ridiculous.
I hope nobody plans a road trip based on those numbers! Downhill all the way with a tailwind maybe?

I don’t think the comparison is fair, Model 3 LR shouldn’t be in there, MY LR should be in its place, and the Cal RT 1 RWD should be the Mach E in there.
